Honestly, if the Al Ed & Wolf go on tour as an instrumental concert, I would go see it. The few audio recordings of sound check etc is so freakin tight it would be awesome to see a complete show probably with so many songs not played on tour for one reason or another.

Former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony is throwing some ice water onto rumors that he’s rejoining the iconic band he helped build for a reunion tour next summer.

On the heels of David Lee Roth’s comments about playing Yankee Stadium in 2019, Eddie Trunk related additional speculation that Alex and Eddie Van Halen were interested in again working with their former bassist.

Premiere Radio Networks, a division of iHeartRadio, reached out to Anthony on Wednesday as the rumors caught on. Van Halen fans aren’t going to like what he said.

“The only comment I have is that I haven’t spoken to any of the guys since we last played together back in 2004,” Anthony told Premiere.

He added that while he did run into Alex Van Halen “a few years back,” the two didn’t get into anything more than small talk.
